KY pharmacy wholesaler bonds.
$750. Five minutes.
Kentucky's Board of Pharmacy requires a wholesaler, wholesale distributor, or virtual wholesaler permit applicant to post a surety bond of not less than $25,000 under 201 KAR 2:105. Ours is $750 flat — 3% of the $25,000 amount — and this kind of fixed license bond is among the fastest things we issue.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A virtual wholesaler distributes prescription drugs in Kentucky without taking physical possession of them. The Board of Pharmacy conditions the permit on a surety bond (or equivalent security) of at least $25,000 so the state has a financial backstop tied to your permit.
Under 201 KAR 2:105, the bond secures payment of any administrative penalties, fees, or costs the Board imposes and that the licensee fails to pay within thirty days of the penalty becoming final. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy (the obligee).
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the Board, you repay the surety. The regulation also accepts other forms of security (a letter of credit, a trust account, or insurance), but a surety bond is usually the cheapest: you pay the 3% premium instead of tying up $25,000.
